Buried Movie (2010)
Yes, I have watched Buried, a Ryan Reynolds movie directed by Rodrigo Cortés. And yes, I have watched all of it- from the very beginning to the very end. Now, if this statement sounds a bit unusual, this is why: I would never in a million years watch a …
Herbie Fully Loaded -DVD Release 2005
Oh joy -Herbie rides again (if you will pardon the pun). When I spotted Herbie Fully Loaded in a shop I simply had to have it. Always having loved watching the original movies when they came onto the television it seemed too good to be true that the little …
Due Date: Movie
Due Date is a comedy film that I really enjoyed, despite going into it with a slight bit of pessimism due to previous reviews I’d heard.
It was much better than I expected, and had a number of laugh out loud moments that make me want to watch it again …

Interview with a Vampire
When the movie Interview with a Vampire came out, I thought it was a fantastic film. And, I still do think it is better than some of the so-called vampire movies that are out today (like Twilight). But, I have to tell you, I watched it again last night …
50 First Dates
I think this is one of the sweetest romantic comedies out there. I love Adam Sandler in this movie and have thought it was a classic movie since it came out. I tend to watch it every time I find it on the TV. I have it either on …
Hachiko: A Dog’s Tale (2009)
I’m a real dog lover, not only dog lover actually but an animal lover as well, not only animals but really I love even rats too and pity them whenever I see people or our security guards killing them! Anyway, I had to watch this movie seeing as dogs …
Sky high movie

Borderland (UR, 2007) movie
I thought I had seen just about all the slasher films that were going to be good in 2008. I will confess that the 8 Films to Die For series has left me cold on a few occasions. However this film had me intrigued from the very …
Movie Knowing
I saw the movie Knowing last night, and I have to say that Nicolas Cage has once again lived down to my opinion of him as a poor actor who should have quit after Raising Arizona. The movie is terrible, which isn’t all the actors’ faults, as the plot …
Valkyrie movie
The movie is a historical thriller about the assassination plot against Adolf Hitler. The movie started with Tom Cruise severely wounded in Tunisia and was brought home to Berlin for medical treatment. Wrought and dismayed with the outcome of the war, Tom Cruise who played Colonel Claus von Staunffenberg, …

The Last Holiday starring Queen Latifah was probably one of the most wonderful and uplifting movies that I have ever seen. I actually borrowed this movie from my local library. I like Queen Latifah so I thought this movie would be interesting and I have been in love with …
Artic Tale (2007)
This is a wonderful animal movie for both children and adults. I guess you could say it is a true story as nature photographers filmed it up in the artic (the animals are not trained acting animals - they are the real thing). Words were added to the picture …

Film Titanic
One of the best movies I have ever seen is the movie Titanic starring Leonardo DiCaprio. This movie is a great depiction of the maritime catastrophe that occured on April 15, 1912. I felt that the movie took me back to that event.
I thought …
Hollywood Homicide (2003)
Ok my good people, I guess we asked for it and it was given to us as promised, this is where Hollywood meets police meets Hollywood get it? Me neither, but in essence, this movie is about two police detectives who are not getting enough payment from their regular …
Coraline (animation movie)
Coraline is a 2009 animation, fantasy and thriller movie directed by Henry Selick. This animation movie wasn’t a computer generated animation movie that I usually love to watch. Though, this movie proved to be a complete surprise for me. I guess I didn’t watched any of the animation movies …
Le Havre by Aki Kaurismaki (2011 film)
I’m fairly accustomed to watching subtitled foreign language films, where one mostly gets an education of Cinema’s roots. It is just now that new titles —“ notable ones from last year’s Cannes —“ have popped out way past the editorial reviews and hoopla spewed by publications. Le …

Interview with the Vampire (the movie)
I absolutely love this movie! I remember when I was about 10 years old and I would watch it all the time in the dark at night. But I loved the acting. The language was fluid to me, like flowing water, and I hung onto the actors …
1408
I always wait for these suspense horror movies to come out. I just had to go see 1408 as soon as it hit the theatres. I love John Cusack in movies and i like this type of movie so i thought this movie may be pretty good to go …

Music and Lyrics (2007)
There is no reason for romantic-comedy lover not to watch this movie because there is a king and queen of romantic comedy inside, that is : Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. The good news here is, this movie is as great as I expected when I heard that it …
Little miss sunshine movie
Little miss sunshine is a really family oriented movie. If it did not have so much profanity, it probably would have been really successful as a mainstream movie. A dysfunctional family is coming together going on a road trip because the little girl wants to be in a little …
The Trojan War movie
When I first read the description for the Trojan War I thought it was going to be a dumb movie. In fact, the only reason I even decided to watch it is it was too early to go to bed and there was nothing else on.
After watching it, I …
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
“The Wizard of Oz” is one of the best MGM musicals of all time and a film that continues to cross generational lines. I read somewhere that they had originally wanted Shirley Temple to play the part of Dorothy. As talented a child actress as Temple was, …
Prancer movie
Even though I was burned out on Christmas movies, I did spend a great deal of time Christmas Eve watching them with my family. One of those movies was the film Prancer. And, after seeing that movie I definitely was ready to turn them off.
Prancer is an OK film. …
The Aviator
The Aviator tells the true story of director and industrialist Howard Hughes or as close to true as it gets in Hollywood. Hughes is played well by Leonardo DiCaprio and other actors turn up at odd times playing someone else important in the man’s life. Kate Beckinsale plays Ava …
Speedway movie
From 1968, Speedway combines the talents of Elvis Presley and Nancy Sinatra. Okay, it’s a so-so plot and we’ve seen it a thousand times, and the characters are stereotyped and not particularly that ‘wow-some’. I don’t think there’s any way you can say that either performer had …
Saw-Movie
I just watched this movie on television last night. I had not seen it for a while and it was great. I have seen all the Saw movies right after they came out at the theater, but the first is my favorite. I had not idea what I was …

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
I first started reading Shakespeare’s plays when I was about eight years old, in more easy to understand translations. The translation which I had used was “Lamb’s Tales in Shakespeare” so plays such as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” at the time seemed very interesting to me. Therefore, that is …
Star Wars III-Revenge of the Sith
This installation to the Star Wars Saga was not the worst nor the best. It failed to live up to the hype, it’s somewhat boring, plus the characters are semi-believable. Anakin’s character was poorly portrayed as he just randomly switched to the Darkside without a real reason. General Grievous …
The Time Traveler’s Wife movie
The Time Traveler’s Wife stars Rachel McAdams as Clare Abshire, an artist, and Eric Bana as Henry DeTamble, a man with an unusual genetic defect that causes him to travel through time unexpectedly.
